"The Kilogram Has Gained Weight"

[sir echa]

The kilogram may need to go on a diet. The international standard, a cylinder-shaped hunk of metal that defines the fundamental unit of mass, has gained tens of micrograms in weight from surface contamination, according to a new study.
As a result, each country that has one of these standard masses has a slightly different definition of the kilogram, which could throw off science experiments that require very precise weight measurements or international trade in highly restricted items that are restricted by weight, such as radioactive materials.

My concern!

Mkubwa, umemaliza kuisoma hiyo article kweli? Mbona inachotaka kuzungumzia zaidi ni njia mpya za kusafishia hizo Kilogram ambazo ni Standards

Pia hata hivi sasa standard kilograms kwa nchi hadi nchi zinatofautiana slightly.
